[Orca-users] Modifications to ORCA - additional metrics added

[Sean O'Neill]

This is me burning time while the kids nap ...

First, this is only tested on SEtoolkit 3.2.1 on a SS20 running Solaris 
8.  I plan on tweaking it for SEtoolkit 3.3 on a U5 running Solaris 9 - 
just haven't gotten to it yet.

I've modified ORCA to include the following additional metrics:

- Interrupts/s, System Calls/s, Traps/s
- Forks/s, vforks/s, execs/s
- Context Switches (graphed as voluntary and involuntary switches / s)
- Major, minor, and zfod page faults / sec

Unfortunately, this required me to modify the p_vmstat_class.se script that 
comes with the SEToolkit.  I'm thinking about making this separate from 
SEtoolkit because Rich Pettit may not want to include my modifications into 
this file - I haven't approached him on this.

You can see the graphs at http://chivas.oneill.dhs.org/orca.  Its only a 
128Kb/sec upload link - so be nice :)

Two ORCA files were modified as well - orcallator.cfg and orcallator.se.

All three modified files are attached.  The orcallator files are obviously 
tweaked for my environment so tweaking will probably be required for anyone 
trying these out.

Also, note my orcallator.se collects stats every 60 seconds - not the 
default 300 seconds it gets installed with.

I'm pretty sure the stats are coming in ops/sec correctly but I'm obviously 
bias ...

So curious if folks would like to see some more "stuff" added and if I 
should continue my meanderings ... course I will continue for me at 
least.  If anyone has any ideas on better graph groupings for the data - 
let me know that as well.
